BACH CHOIR The Bach Choir has long been established as one of the world’s leading choruses. A succession of eminent musical directors, including Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, Dr Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir David Willcocks and now David Hill, has each ensured that the choir performs to the highest standards. The choir’s consistent excellence has resulted in invitations to sing in prestigious venues, and with the very best professional orchestras and soloists. The Bach Choir has some 220 active members, talented singers from all walks of life, all of whom are committed to a challenging schedule of up to 20 concerts in a season, as well as recordings, special engagements and overseas tours which have included Australia, the United States, South Africa and Europe. David Hill has been musical director of The Bach Choir since 1998 and, under his direction, the choir has extended its repertoire with new and challenging works, now aiming to commission new choral music every two years.
